Hey Look, It’s Video Of Kurt Cobain. In Hell.

@yojeezy: You didn't know Kurt personally, so how would you know what he would've liked or disliked... Explain that science fiction to me.

FriendlyFloyd

@Cam/ron: He maybe would have liked the skeletons and angels, but no fucking way would he have liked the bon jovi shit and doing those douchebag stage moves. Fucking disgrace. Watch some live Nirvana on YouTube and cleanse your mind of this shit forever.

yojeezy

Relax, if Kurt lived to see this shite he would've loved it. He insisted that Weird Al Yankovic spoof "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Cam/ron

And what of Frances Bean? How must it be for her to have all her friends (assuming her mother hasn't already scared the crap out of them) to load up their video games and see her dead father singing crap Bon Jovi tunes?

Hydroceph

@DahlELama: May i join you? We can sit there with our fingers in our ears and blow raspberries at Courtney.

Hydroceph

@Jackiewsu: I respect that your suicide hot line would argue "don't kill yourself because the people in your life will just find ways to exploit". That whole people love you and it will get better shtick gets so old.

Cheruth

That was terrible. I'm going back to watch that video of baby chicks being ground up to get this out of my head.

Honestly, making him sing Bush songs is worse than Bon Jovi. At least Bon Jovi's lyrics make sense.

@blakeley: Ok, I was gonna say "I didn't realize Kurt played drums" or something but you beat me to that joke.

Oh, come on. We all knew this would happen. All that "seminal" stuff and whatnot that gets said.

Back to Liza/Joel singing, "Money" because it's the way of the world.

Not saying I'm in the world. In fact, the "here we are now, entertain us" thing fits right into the New Red Guard.

While Kurt Cobain would never have volunteered to do this himself. I do think he would see a sort of delicious irony in it all.

Its like Courtney Love wakes up every day and asks herself how she can be a worse person than she was yesterday.

Cheruth

i hate this repetitive motion injury game

"Indeed, securing the proper approvals was no small feat. Not only did Cobain’s widow Courtney Love have to sign off on behalf of the estate, so did former drummer Dave Grohl and Primary Wave Publishing, which administers the Nirvana catalog." -- RS article

Ugh.

@DahlELama: I don't think Grohl does have control. That was the whole point of that legal battle. Courtney owns the band's catalog as far as I know.

If that's not true, then, I'm disappointed in Dave.

mharker

The angel's kinda hot.
I wonder if she's banging the drummer.

Eh. Whatever. I think Dan Bern said it best:

When Kurt Cobain blew out his brain
All the little girls they cried like rain
And as for me I felt the pain
But I got no T-shirts left to stain
For Kennedy and Jesse James
And Joan of Arc and Kurt Cobain

You can hear them crying down the lane
From Portland to Maryland
From Greece to Spain
And as my life drips like coffee down the drain
My eyes dry up like a rusty chain
So Kennedy and Jesse James
Will have to cry for Kurt Cobain

It's a hard life and no one's to blame
When God's not on the morning train
If Cain don't kill Abel, Abel kills Cain
And tears now shed are shed in vain
For Kennedy and Jesse James
And Joan of Arc and Kurt Cobain

There's three new roses growing in the lane
It was a long hard winter but now there's rain
If you want my tears tell me your name
Give me you hand let me feel your pain
But for Kennedy and Jesse James
There's Joan af Arc and Kurt Cobain

OliversArmy

Ok, not to go against the grain here, but this is completely hilarious and I want it.

I'd also like to think that if Kurt were alive today, he'd probably really dig this too. I know we all like to remember him as a brooding and tortured artist but the guy had a sick sense of humor and really didn't take himself (or anything else) too seriously at all.

Thomas Paladino

bro this is tight. also sick: stripped down acoustic version of j. lennon and m.d. chapman doing "borrowed time" - rockin'.

shostakobitch

I'd just like to say that Dave Grohl has little say over what happens to Nirvana stuff. Courtney Love controls all of it due to a court battle she had with Grohl.

user_21938

This shit is not right. I can't believe how painfully bad this is.

I can't believe how angry this is making me.

@blakeley: Rude!

Hydroceph

As an ardent lover of Kurt Cobain, I'm just going to walk away and pretend this doesn't exist. I'd say that I wish Courtney would rot, but judging by recent pictures, it seems she's two steps ahead on that front.

Also, I wasn't under the impression that Dave Grohl had any real control over the music or Kurt's likeness, but honestly, if he is partially responsible, I don't really begrudge him that; Cobain's suicide could've left him a poor, careerless nobody and it's to Grohl's credit that he started over again and became an even bigger star than before with the Foo Fighters. Doesn't look like Krist Novoselic's been nearly as lucky.

DahlELama

Honestly, I was going to buy this game until I saw this. I hope others do the same.

DO.NOT.WANT.

Well, if Kurt really were in hell, this is probably a remarkably accurate depiction of what it would be like.

Looks like the establishment is giving a huge middle finger to someone who messed with their shit a few years back. Repulsive.

Borromeo

A piece of my adolescence just completely died.

HowardRoarkLaughed

The rest of the band consists of (1) A reject from Rock of Love Bus (2) An extra from Nickelodeon's "Doug" and (3) a freakin' SKELETON.

With that horrible hodgepodge of a lineup they wouldn't be out of place on a Guns n Roses or Smashing Pumpkins reunion tour

Kurt probably looks more like that skeleton drummer these days...

"Kurt Cobain Will Have His Revenge on Guitar Hero"

Just wait until people hit certain chords. Oh yes.

Rose_Selavy_pppffth

Kurt on black velvet would have been more appropriate.

belltolls

Well it could have been worse. He could have been singing "Celebrity Skin".

@Jackiewsu: You must have a stronger stomach than i do. I could only make it 28 seconds. This disgusts me.

Hydroceph

@Jackiewsu: I would adjust that slightly. If there was ever a reason to never, ever get involved with Courtney Love, this is it.

Muggs Bigglesworth

This shit aint right. I couldn't watch more than 39 seconds.
If there was ever a reason not to committ suicide this would be it.

@FriendlyFloyd: Oh, so you know me, where I am from, who I know, and who they knew? Think twice before you assume someone's opinion may not be as educated as yours. After you have thought twice, might I suggest you suck it?

yojeezy

@Cam/ron: He insisted nothing. Weird Al asked him if he could do it (like he always does, though Coolio later denied it) and Kurt said it was cool, but "...it's not going to be about food, is it?"

And, seriously? Kurt would have been cool with his personal identity being packaged in a retail game where his digital self does Bon Jovi? Kurt once destroyed half his bassists record collection for having 'shit music' such as the Rolling Stones.

I don't care he's in the game. Fuck it, life goes on. But it is pathetic, ill-fitting, and it's definitely not something he "would've loved."

Paul_Is_Drunk

@Paul_Is_Drunk: seriously he destroyed part of Krist's record collection b/c he didn't like them? That should have earned him a bass upside his head.

mossdale

I like how absoultely no sites have complained or picked up on the fact that Johnny Cash is in the game, and yes, you can make him dance around like a retarded puppet singing Beastie Boys if you like.

I have Cobain as my lead singer, Cash as my Bassist, and Santana as my Drummer. Watching Cobain, Cash, and my character all lean in to the mic and sing "What I Got" by Sublime is friggin hilarious.

Its a video game people. Hell - I got one that'll really piss you off - there is a JFK assassin simulator! GASP!

eXo

@Rose_Selavy_pppffth: I'd like to see an "All Apologies" from Activision for this, but I'm afraid theyre just going to "Milk It".
